InVivo Therapeutics Holdings Corp. Reports 6-month Post-Implant Update

InVivo Therapeutics Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ:NVIV) today announced a six month post-implant update for the fifth patient in The INSPIRE Study: InVivo Study of Probable Benefit of the Neuro-Spinal Scaffold™ for Safety and Neurologic Recovery in Subjects with Complete Thoracic AIS A Spinal Cord Injury.
According to the news:

The primary endpoint of The INSPIRE Study is the proportion of patients with an improvement in AIS grade by the six-month visit. So far, three out of the first five patients treated (60%) have had an AIS grade improvement by 6 months. Several large natural history databases indicate that fewer than 16% of patients with complete thoracic injuries have an AIS grade improvement by six months post injury.*

Mark Perrin, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, said,:

We are encouraged to see this patient’s significant neurological progress. This third conversion brings us one step closer to achieving the Objective Performance Criterion (OPC) for The INSPIRE Study. Our goal is to approach full enrollment of the pivotal INSPIRE study by the end of the year, which will allow for an HDE (Humanitarian Device Exemption) submission in 2017.
